    Questions about getting pinned down

    1) When you return to somewhere you were getting pinned down, would it be better to keep your current pinned penalty or to revert to your old one? The old one might make more sense flavorwise, but much more hassle bookkeeping wise. 2) Should you only get pinned down if your enemy is actively...

    Traps: How do they WORK?

    Off-topic: I tried to run a preview adventure today, but no one would play the fighter. I think I've trained my players too well.

    How long after June 6?

    I'd love to run a game same-day, but my players all live farish away, so it'd probably have to wait for our regular game-day on the next Sunday.

    D&D 4E 4e houserules

    Any 'houserules' I end up making will probably just be flavor, and I know for a fact that I'm gonna chop down quite a bit on horn and tail length for Tieflings. I have good memory for the rules as-is, bad memory for anything not in the rulebooks.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 is Anime! Wait, what?

    Although he's not referred to as a anime character elsewhere, he is the PARAGON of sheer ludicrous character design elsewhere, which is the connotation there. His hair! His sword! His sheer apathy in the beginning of the game!

    D&D 4E 4E Wizard = Harry Potter Wizard?

    And Mage Hand doesn't say: "Special: Must say 'Wingardium Leviosa'" :D

    D&D 4E 4E Wizard = Harry Potter Wizard?

    What about Lord of the Rings? Gandalf uses his staff as a focus for his power, he flings a lot of spellpower around, doing little things nigh-constantly. Sadly, I don't know enough about Lord of the Rings to think of a good analogy for rituals, but it's not like LotR actively opposes the idea of...

    Easilly assembled encounters, more character driven adventures?

    I'm glad for the easier DMing, but instead of letting someone else DM, I can finally DM again! I snapped about a year ago and decided to elect the other guy who knew the rules thoroughly as DM. Although he's good, he and I both agree that I should take over as DM once more.

    Blog post on the feel of D&D (marmell, reynolds et all)

    Only thing I could think of like that would be Illithid, and that is completely original (I believe). Orc Spearchucker would likely be tough to get a copyright on, considering it's something generic + an english word, especially with an open license. If there is no open license, then that's...

    Eh, nevermind.

    Yes! Clearly, this is a work of genius.

    Eh, nevermind.

    Oh no! Who to believe? The original poster, or the sole reply?

    Blog post on the feel of D&D (marmell, reynolds et all)

    Piping in real quick: What in the world are you talking about?! How could that possibly affect third parties? Can they mystically be completely unable to use kobolds in their adventure because they don't know what skirmisher means? Are they completely incapable of writing a new adventure but...

    WotC_Dave: Color Power!

    Speaking as what appears to be the only color blind person here, the reds look good, but I'd have to see the greens to say.

    Skill challenges and you

    I DM, and this is pretty much what I did anyways.
